Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254743RecruitingPhase 3
Pirtobrutinib versus ibrutinib for CLL or SLL
This Phase 3 trial compares two oral medicines—pirtobrutinib and ibrutinib—in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need treatment. It’s designed to see which drug works better and is easier to take, especially for people with a specific genetic change in the cancer (17p deletion).
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05947851RecruitingPhase 3
Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05183035RecruitingPhase 3
Venetoclax for relapsed childhood AML
This trial studies venetoclax in children and young adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back. It aims to see how well this treatment controls the leukemia after earlier therapies.

Long Beach, CaliforniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT05501899RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Levocarnitine to protect the liver during ALL chemotherapy
This early-phase study tests whether levocarnitine can reduce liver injury from a chemotherapy medicine called asparaginase in people with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). If you’re eligible, you would take levocarnitine by mouth alongside your planned standard cancer treatment to see if the liver stays healthier.

Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656494RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combo for myeloid blood cancers

Docirbrutinib for CLL or lymphoma after prior treatments
This Phase 1 study tests docirbrutinib, a targeted pill treatment, in people with CLL/SLL or certain other B-cell lymphomas that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier therapy. The goal is to see whether it’s safe and whether it can control the disease after standard treatments have failed.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination treatment—chemo, immunotherapy, and a donor stem cell transplant—for certain aggressive NK/T-cell lymphomas. It may help patients who have advanced-stage disease by trying to improve long-term control of the cancer.

What taking part in a leukemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
